Deuteronomy 23:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ The people of those nations refused to help you when you were leaving Egypt. They did not give you food or water. Also, they paid Beor's son Balaam to curse you. He came from Pethor in Mesopotamia. ⁵ But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam. He refused to curse you. Instead, he blessed you. The Lord your God did that because he loves you. ⁶ You must never do anything to help these two nations. Do not let them live in peace.
